3:18 PM: it's always challenging to return to painting following a week long trip. so i simply launched into a new gouache based upon a photo i shot on our return flight of a woman at work on her laptop. it's not where i'm headed in the coming days and weeks, but it allowed me to pick up my brushes and get something done. i'll complete it tomorrow.
we're having a spell of unusually warm weather for this time of year, so over the next week or so i intend to go back out to the creek and make a few more gouaches. this time, the size and shape will be designed to be divided into 3 or 4 vertical panels, to be hung side by side. this is based on an idea i got while visiting the philadelphia museum of art a few days ago.
